Title: The Manufacture of New Colouring Matters of the Safranine Series.
Filed: 1897-10-21
Granted: 1898-09-10
Abstract: 24,410. Abel, C. D., [Actiengesellschaft f³r Anilin Fabrikation]. Oct. 21. Dyes, artificial.-Colouring-matters of the saffranine series are produced in accordance with the following equations :- by acting upon iso-rosindulines, or their substitution products, with ammonia, or primary amines, or diamines, or nitro-, oxy-, sulphonic, or carboxylic derivatives thereof, or colouring-matters containing free amido groups, such as amido-azo, triphenylmethane, acridine, or induline dyes, in the presence of oxygen or an oxidizing-agent. The bases used must be in the free condition, or in the form of carbonates, acetates, or other easily-dissociated salts. Products which are insoluble are rendered soluble by sulphonation. By this process, red to greenish-blue dyes are obtained, which yield clearer shades than the original dyes. Examples are given in which neutral blue, iso-rosindulines prepared from nitroso-dimethyl- and diethyl-aniline and phenyl-, ethyl-, and p-tolyl-#-naphthylamine, the chlor-isorosinduline obtained from nitroso-m chlordimethylaniline and phenyl-#-naphthylamine and the isorosinduline-sulphonic acids obtained from nitroso-ethylbenzyl-aniline sulphonic acid and phenyl-#- naphthylamine, and from nitrosodimethylaniline and 2-8-p-tolylnaphthylamine sulphonic acid, are used on the one hand, and p-nitraniline, metanilic-acid, p-amidosalicylic acid, amido-azobenzene, fuchsine, saffranine, ammonia, aniline, p-phenylenediamine, ethylamine, m-toluylenediamine, and p-toluidine are used as the other compopents.

Granted: 1898-11-25
Abstract: 24,712. Doolittle, P. E., [Still, W. J., and Bengough, T., partly.]. Oct. 25. Spring motors.-Consists of a construction of gas engine and gearing by means of which the explosions are made to occur only with the frequency requisite to develope energy at the varying rate at which it is demanded, while in the intervals the motor is at rest. The invention is suitable for propelling vehicles, or for light power purposes generally. Two forms of the invention are described in the Specification, in one of which, Fig. 1, the energy of the explosions is stored in intermediate spring motor apparatus. In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 1, an outward stroke of the piston B rotates, through a clutch D, a heavy drum connected to the driven gear by a powerful coiled spring. Any recoil of the heavy drum or of the crank is prevented by clutches F and H respectively. The piston B can return preparatory to making a fresh stroke only when the clutch H is released by the governor. The indraught of the explosive mixture is provided for by a second piston X and its attached gear. The exhaust valve O is worked by a return crank and levers T, Y.

Granted: 1899-07-08
Abstract: 11,771. Baggett, L. June 6. Filter-presses; strainers. -Relates to presses for expressing liquids from solids, as, for instance, oil from cotton-seed. The filter-cloth is in one piece, and is carried on drums v, Fig. 1, and rollers X pivoted to the boxes. It is folded into the boxes by plungers e, having rollers f, and yieldingly connected by springs i<1> to the crosshead k<1> of a hydraulic cylinder l or the like. Fig. 10 shows a plan of some of the boxes in the closed position. Secured to their backs y by drain bars x are perforated plunger plates m, adapted to telescope into the open ends of the boxes when the latter are pressed together by the ram D, Fig. 1. The sides of the boxes are closed by flanges h<2> of the channel-bars H. The cloth having been folded into the boxes, the funnels Q are lowered to clamp the cloth while the plungers e are withdrawn. The funnels are then filled from a hopper R, which, on starting its traverse over them, moves a grid Z to close their lower ends, by means of a pin and lever T The funnels Q, having discharged their contents into the boxes on the reverse motion of the grid Z, are raised, and the boxes pressed together. The sides through which they are filled, in this case their tops, are closed by plates a sliding in slots in the backs y, and carried on springs b, Fig. 5, which shows a section of the closed boxes. The springs are secured to the adjacent channel-bars H, and cause the plates a, on pressure being applied to the boxes, to move through the plates y and nip the two layers of cloth at the tops of the boxes. When a filter-cloth is not used, the plates a bed against the plates m. The drums v can be rotated to withdraw the cloth and strip the cakes. The plungers e and the funnels Q, and their connections, are carried on a frame M which is moved by screws N in slides L. These slides may be extended across a battery of presses, which can thus be served by one set of plungers and funnels.

Abstract: 9986. Nowßk, E. A. May 30. Type-writers.- Relates to that class of type-writer in which the type is carried on a disc which rotates to bring the required letter before the striker when a key is depressed. In the example shown, three discs 1 are mounted on a vertical shaft 2, on which is a wheel 4 in constant engagement with a rack 6 sliding in guides 5. By means of plungers the shaft can be raised to bring either of the discs into use. Below the key levers 9 is a lever 22, pivoted at one end 23 and connected at the other to a bell-crank lever 25, connected by a link 26 with the rack 6. The rack is thus moved a greater or less distance depending upon the key struck. The spacing-levers 16 are cut away at 31 so that they do not operate the lever 22. The hammer frame 33 is fixed below the keys 9, and is connected by a link 34 with a lever 37 which operates the striker 40. To prevent the paper 43 from being soiled, a flexible shield 45 having a perforation 46 is fitted before the type-disc. The paper carriage 47 runs in guides 49, and carries two feed-rollers 50, 51. It is driven by an endless chain 53 propelled by a ratchetwheel 54 fixed on the axle 55 of one of the chain-wheels. The pawl 58 is on a lever connected by a link 59 with a lever 61 which is connected with an arm 63 projecting from the hammer frame 33. The carriage is connected with the chain by means of a dog 65, which slides in a slot in the bottom of the carriage and engages by means of a projection 66 in a piece 68 sliding on the carriage. A spring 69 tends to return this piece to its place. The piece 68 is connected by the rod 70 and links 71 &c. to a knob 75, by which the carriage can be disconnected from the chain. The type-disc is provided with a blank space at its normal position of rest, so that, when the striker is operated by the spacing-key, the paper is not inked.
